It took her some time to fully grasp what was happening, not to mention to come to terms with what had transpired in the last few hours. From nearly being killed, to watching her father turn into a titan, it was a living, waking nightmare that was finally over, but would probably still haunt her for many more years.
Once finding strength to get up, Pieck checked on her father first, finding him as well as could be given the situation. Gabi and Falco were close, reunited with their families, Reiner, too, while the rest finally mourned everything and everybody they lost, including Eren.
Only two people were missing: the Ackermans. From what Pieck gathered by listening to Armin explain it all to Connie and Jean, Mikasa left. It only left Levi who was unaccounted for, and with how everybody was still wrapped up in grief and verbal conflict as Müller showed up, Pieck took it upon herself to find him.
There were only a few places he could have hobbled off to given his state, and sure enough, she found him leaned against a large boulder and-- crying? It was far from the image of the man who basically made it his mission to take down as many of the marleyan titans as possible just some weeks prior. A part of her didn't want to imagine just how much he had suffered through, watching his comrades die and sacrificing themselves to make sure they had the best chance possible to stop the rumbling.
If there was one thing she knew, however, was that no man deserved to grieve on his own, so Pieck sat down next to him, without a word, without even a nudge, to keep him company.
